  1. Good idea not stretching yourself. Best of luck with it all, there is a lot of work about at the moment (area dependant) and will probably continue until Mr Sunak pulls the furlough rug and folk tighten their belts. A decent, well maintained 125 or 160 will serve you well and also hold its money relatively well meaning you could upgrade at a later date when you are more established and offset the 125 against a bigger machine, like a 230. A well maintained and looked after 125 is probably a better investment than a 150 that has been thrashed by a contractor. A lot of the 125 chippers seem to be owner/operator machines where the boss has a vested interest in looking after it rather than a big company chipper than has been used and abused by every man his dog with blunt blades and rollers and hasn’t seen a grease gun since it left the manufacturer!

    Not a problem thanks dude [emoji41]

    Ha Ha Yes I am!!   I think starting out a 125/160 is perfect. I at times may do some small one man type jobs and would be in trouble if I got a bigger chipper like a 230 stuck somewhere. Even a 125 is an issue at times.
    so a tw125 is a good first chipper
